Petroleum

Petroleum is a late game, powerful fuel for Power generation and Rocket engines. It stacks up to 740 kg/tile when not pressurized.

Occurrences
Petroleum can appear naturally if some map regions are sufficiently overheated, which leads to Crude Oil transformation or Molten Slicksters births.

Production

 * Molten Slicksters produce 10 kg/Cycle of Petroleum by consuming 20 kg/Cycle of Carbon Dioxide.
 * Petroleum can be obtained from Crude Oil using an Oil Refinery with 50% efficiency.
 * 10 kg/s Crude Oil = 5 kg/s Petroleum + 90 g/s Natural Gas.
 * Alternatively, Crude Oil can be heated above 401.85 °C and below 538.85 °C converting it into Petroleum with 100 % efficiency.

Usage

 * Despite having heat capacity 2.5 times lower than Water, Petroleum has 4 times Thermal Conductivity, and great temperature range (595 degrees), which makes it a good mid-game coolant.
 * Petroleum can be heated to 540.85 °C and converted to Sour Gas, which in turn can be cooled to -161.5 °C turning into 66.6% Methane and 33.3% Sulfur.
 * Polymer Press transforms Petroleum into Plastic.
 * Petroleum Generator can burn Petroleum to generate Power.
 * Petroleum Engine burns Petroleum as a rocket fuel.
 * Exosuit Forge uses Petroleum to produce Jet Suits.
 * Jet Suit Docks consume it to refill exosuit's jetpacks.
 * Molecular Forge consumes Petroleum with:
 * Isoresin to produce Visco-Gel.
 * Fullerene and Gold to produce Super Coolant.
